1995 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"An overall nice ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil pan rusted out at 100,000 miles.
Ball joints were replaced twice.
Gas tank rusted out at 120,000 miles.
Air conditioning leaked at 80,000 miles.
General comments?
This truck was very reliable and handled well.
On long trips the hard bench seats took their toll on my back.
The truck had great power in the low end, but had trouble with speeds while passing.
All of the few controls it did have, were within easy reach.
The in-line 6 cylinder had great torque.
Other than the rusting of the oil pan, there were no engine problems ever.
